Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
Various embodiments provide techniques for enabling multiple graphics interfaces to be accessed to perform graphics-related operations. In at least some embodiments, techniques determine if the multiple graphics interfaces can share a memory resource for performing graphics operations. If the multiple graphics interfaces can share the memory resource, a coalescing graphics element is provided that can be used by applications to perform multiple graphics operations.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A computer-implemented method comprising: receiving a request from a resource to perform a drawing operation in a system that includes multiple graphics interfaces, the multiple graphics interfaces including a first graphics interface that is an updated version of a second graphics interface and which is configured to provide more advanced graphics capabilities in comparison to the second graphics interface, the first graphics interface being responsible for…
